2021 Nissan Frontier Review

byChristian Wardlaw, Correspondent^{Correspondent
Christian Wardlaw, Correspondent is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Plenty of punch from the V6 engine
The Pro-4X model is a capable off-roader

Cons

Doesn't steer or handle with confidence on pavement
Uncomfortable crew-cab rear seats have tight legroom
Fuel economy lags behind several rivals
Interior materials look and feel cheap

What's new

No significant changes for the 2021 Frontier
Last year for the second Frontier generation introduced for 2005

A time capsule of a midsize pickup truck, the 2021 Nissan Frontier is essentially the same vehicle that first arrived in showrooms back in 2005. The rugged styling has aged remarkably well, but stepping into the plastic fantastic interior is like teleporting back to an era when Beyonce was still a member of Destiny's Child and Lance Armstrong "won" the Tour de France.

In other words, the 2021 Frontier is downright ancient, and the low scores of our Expert Rating below reflects its age. A new 2022 Nissan Frontier is coming soon, however. That means, between now and the 2022 Frontier's arrival, you can likely land a great deal on the reliable workhorse that is the 2021 Frontier. It comes in extended-cab and crew-cab styles, and in three choices of trim. They all have a robust powertrain that debuted for the 2020 model year and will carry over into the next-generation Frontier.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

6.6 /10

Engine performance, thanks to the Frontier's newest 3.8-liter V6, is pleasing. Unfortunately, technology features, towing and hauling capabilities, on-road comfort and overall refinement are still way behind segment standards. There are simply too many drawbacks compared to other top rivals. The main reason to consider the Frontier is if you're simply looking for an inexpensive, no-frills midsize truck.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Frontier drive? The 3.8-liter V6 engine makes strong power. The shifts from the nine-speed automatic are quick and smooth, and the truck scoots around town with relative ease. Maximum acceleration, though, is pretty average. Our test Frontier sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, which is about the same as a V6-equipped Chevy Colorado or Toyota Tacoma.

The Frontier's brakes feel soft, and there's a long pedal travel before they start to work. The combination gives the driver little confidence in hard braking scenarios. The steering is extremely vague, communicating very little about what's happening with the front tires. And while the Frontier's handling is likely within the limits of what you'd expect from a pickup, midcorner bumps upset the rear end, more so than in rivals. Off-roading capability is pretty good, though, thanks to some added equipment from the Pro-4X trim, including a locking rear differential and skid plates.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the Frontier? This Frontier seems harsh even up against rough-and-tumble rivals such as the Jeep Gladiator and the Tacoma. The front seats lack sufficient bolstering and don't have much lumbar support. The back seats are even flatter, with a pretty upright position that would make road trips uncomfortable. The ride quality is poor as well, with many sharp and harsh bumps making their way into the cabin.

By truck standards, it's relatively quiet inside the Frontier. The most prominent noise comes from wind moving over the large sideview mirrors. The climate control system works well, with the A/C cooling things down quickly on a hot day. The heated seats, however, are less impressive. They don't get very warm and after the initial warm-up period, they fizz out to mediocre pretty quickly.

Interior

7.0/10

How’s the interior? For the driver, the Frontier has a spacious feel and good forward visibility. The tall side windows and large windshield offer an expansive view of the road. The cabin controls, while small and dated, are easy to find and operate.

The large side mirrors provide a good view of the adjacent lanes, but the large front pillars and rear headrests obstruct your view through turns and directly behind pretty significantly. Getting into the front seat, even in the off-road-oriented Pro-4X model, is surprisingly easy thanks to wide-opening doors. Getting into the rear seat isn't as easy — we had to duck quite a bit.

Technology

5.5/10

How’s the tech? There isn't much tech in the Frontier to speak of. What does exist falls well below class standards. There's only one USB port in the cabin, and if you use it to connect your smartphone, there's no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration on the other end. Bluetooth is an option, but the Bluetooth audio connection dropped out several times during our test.

Navigation is present on the Pro-4X's 5.8-inch touchscreen, but you'll need to type in most of your destinations since the voice controls have a hard time understanding most addresses or any natural language. Driver aids are also absent in the Frontier, with no adaptive cruise, forward collision, blind-spot monitoring or other high-tech systems to speak of. The rearview camera worked just fine, but the display is small and low-resolution.

Towing and Storage

6.5/10

How are the towing and storage? The Frontier is smaller than every one of its rivals. In crew-cab form, it's about 7 inches shorter than the Colorado and nearly 13 inches shorter than the Gladiator. That means less space for cargo on the inside and a smaller bed. Small-item storage is limited, and even fitting large items in the back seat was tough due to the optional Rockford Fosgate subwoofer under the rear seat.

The Frontier's bed side rails and movable tie-down cleats are helpful for securing cargo. Towing and hauling capabilities are enough to get by with, but they're on the low end in the midsize truck segment. Maximum payload capability is 1,460 pounds, and towing capacity is 6,720 pounds when properly equipped.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? With four-wheel drive, the Frontier gets an EPA estimate of 19 mpg combined. That's on par with other midsize trucks with a V6 engine and automatic transmission. Our Pro-4X test truck averaged 18.1 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, which is a mix of city and highway driving — that's not as good as we expected.

Value

7.0/10

Is the Frontier a good value? Depending on the trim level you choose, the Frontier can be priced a bit lower than most of its rivals. But with the truck's base four-cylinder engine no longer on offer, much of the Frontier's "basic-but-cheap" status goes out the window.

When you spec it up to match even the lowest of rival trims, the Frontier has less available equipment and an antiquated interior. Build quality is good, with no squeaks or rattles from the interior, but the materials feel and look cheap — and you've got to look at those on a daily basis.

Similar to the competition, the Frontier offers a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and three years/36,000 miles of roadside assistance. The roadside assistance covers flat tires, fuel delivery, jump-starts and lockouts.

Wildcard

7.0/10

If you want something basic, the Frontier is a good choice. Go ahead — drive over speed bumps, take rain puddles at full clip, do it all. But in the city, on curving roads or anywhere that isn't an off-road park with lots of mud, it's not enjoyable to drive. This truck looks and feels like it time-warped in from 2005.

Which Frontier does Edmunds recommend?

Of the 2021 Nissan Frontier's three trim levels, we recommend the SV. It offers a wide range of configurability and available equipment, and you can add the Midnight Edition package to the SV for a blacked-out appearance.

Nissan Frontier models

Nissan offers the 2021 Frontier in extended-cab (King Cab) and crew-cab styles with a 5-foot or 6.1-foot cargo bed. A 3.8-liter V6 (310 horsepower, 281 lb-ft of torque) is standard, and it runs through a nine-speed automatic transmission and the rear wheels unless you choose the optional four-wheel-drive system.

Nissan Frontier vs. the competition

2021 Nissan Frontier

2021 Chevrolet Colorado

Nissan Frontier vs. Chevrolet Colorado

Among midsize pickups, the current-generation Chevrolet Colorado is the second oldest truck in the segment after the Nissan Frontier. Nevertheless, the Colorado's design is a decade newer than the Nissan's. Chevrolet offers gasoline and diesel engines, hard-core off-roading models, more advanced infotainment and safety technologies, and a long list of custom accessories. Importantly, the Colorado tows and hauls more weight too. Over the years, we've lived with two different versions of the current-generation Colorado. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and our long-term road test of a diesel-powered 2017 Colorado ZR2.

Compare Nissan Frontier & Chevrolet Colorado features

Nissan Frontier vs. Honda Ridgeline

For something completely different, consider the Honda Ridgeline. It has a more carlike unibody construction rather than a traditional body-on-frame design, but it's still plenty capable. The Ridgeline also boasts a powerful and refined V6 engine, standard torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, and innovative features including a dual-action tailgate and in-bed trunk. If you want to learn more about what it's like to live with a Ridgeline, we've got the insight you seek. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda Ridgeline.

Compare Nissan Frontier & Honda Ridgeline features

Nissan Frontier vs. Toyota Tacoma

In some ways the Tacoma is just as rough, raw and rugged as the Nissan Frontier. Maximum towing and payload ratings are about the same too. But the Tacoma asserts superiority when it comes to off-roading capability, four-wheel-drive technology, infotainment features and safety systems. As if to underscore its ultimate purpose, a GoPro mount is an option. We spent almost two years and more than 40,000 miles living with the Toyota Tacoma and it was quite an adventure.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Nissan Frontier?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
